2006-09-27[PATCH] EISA bus MODALIAS attributes supportMichael Tokarev3-1/+4
Add modalias attribute support for the almost forgotten now EISA bus and (at least some) EISA-aware modules. The modalias entry looks like (for an 3c509 NIC): eisa:sTCM5093 and the in-module alias like: eisa:sTCM5093* The patch moves struct eisa_device_id declaration from include/linux/eisa.h to include/linux/mod_devicetable.h (so that the former now #includes the latter), adds proper MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(eisa, ...) statements for all drivers with EISA IDs I found (some drivers already have that DEVICE_TABLE declared), and adds recognision of __mod_eisa_device_table to scripts/mod/file2alias.c so that proper modules.alias will be generated. There's no support for /lib/modules/$kver/modules.eisamap, as it's not used by any existing tools, and because with in-kernel modalias mechanism those maps are obsolete anyway. The rationale for this patch is: a) to make EISA bus to act as other busses with modalias support, to unify driver loading b) to foget about EISA finally - with this patch, kernel (who still supports EISA) will be the only one who knows how to choose the necessary drivers for this bus ;) [akpm@osdl.org: fix the kbuild bit] Signed-off-by: Michael Tokarev <mjt@tls.msk.ru> Cc: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Cc: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@xenotime.net> Acked-the-net-bits-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org> Acked-the-tulip-bit-by: Valerie Henson <val_henson@linux.intel.com> Cc: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@steeleye.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-09-25fix broken/dubious driver suspend() methodsDavid Brownell1-4/+11
Small driver suspend() fixes in preparation for the PRETHAW events: - Only compare message events for equality against PM_EVENT_* codes; not against integers, or using greater/less-than comparisons. (PM_EVENT_* should really become a __bitwise thing.) - Explicitly test for SUSPEND events (rather than not-something-else) before suspending devices. - Removes more of the confusion between a pm_message_t (wraps event code) and a "state" ... suspend() originally took a target system state. These updates are correct and appropriate even without new PM_EVENT codes. benh: "I think in the Mesh case, we should handle the freeze case as well or we might get wild DMA."

Once sysfs and friends are stabilized, the patch may be backed out.

Received from Mark Salyzyn: I am placing this functionality into an insmod parameter. Normally the physical components are exported to sg, and are blocked from showing up in sd. Note that the pass-through I/O path via the driver through the Firmware to the physical disks is not an optimized path, the card is designed for Hardware RAID, elevator sorting and caching. This should not be used as a means for utilizing the aacraid based controllers as a generic scsi/SATA/SAS controller, performance should suck by a few percentage points, any RAID meta-data on the drives will confuse the controller about who owns the drives and there is a high risk of destroying content in both directions.

callback This patch adds the following functionality to the FC transport: - dev_loss_tmo LLDD callback : Called to essentially confirm the deletion of an rport. Thus, it is called whenever the dev_loss_tmo fires, or when the rport is deleted due to other circumstances (module unload, etc). It is expected that the callback will initiate the termination of any outstanding i/o on the rport. - fast_io_fail_tmo and LLD callback: There are some cases where it may take a long while to truly determine device loss, but the system is in a multipathing configuration that if the i/o was failed quickly (faster than dev_loss_tmo), it could be redirected to a different path and completed sooner.

events This patch formally adds support for the posting of FC events via netlink. It is a followup to the original RFC at: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=114530667923464&w=2 and the initial posting at: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=115507374832500&w=2 The patch has been updated to optimize the send path, per the discussions in the initial posting. Per discussions at the Storage Summit and at OLS, we are to use netlink for async events from transports. Also per discussions, to avoid a netlink protocol per transport, I've create a single NETLINK_SCSITRANSPORT protocol, which can then be used by all transports. This patch: - Creates new files scsi_netlink.c and scsi_netlink.h, which contains the single and shared definitions for the SCSI Transport. It is tied into the base SCSI subsystem intialization. Contains a single interface routine, scsi_send_transport_event(), for a transport to send an event (via multicast to a protocol specific group). - Creates a new scsi_netlink_fc.h file, which contains the FC netlink event messages - Adds 3 new routines to the fc transport: fc_get_event_number() - to get a FC event # fc_host_post_event() - to send a simple FC event (32 bits of data) fc_host_post_vendor_event() - to send a Vendor unique event, with arbitrary amounts of data. Note: the separation of event number allows for a LLD to send a standard event, followed by vendor-specific data for the event. Note: This patch assumes 2 prior fc transport patches have been installed: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=115555807316329&w=2 http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=115581614930261&w=2 Sorry - next time I'll do something like making these individual patches of the same posting when I know they'll be posted closely together.
